Disability Travel Card
What is the Disability Travel Card
Easter Seals National Council and its members and/or affiliates are authorized to approve reduced fare tickets allowing persons with permanent disabilities to travel with an attendant* on the lines of Motor Coach Companies that participate in the reduced fare plan,and Via Rail.
The Disability Travel Card provides identification to a person with a permanent disability, which will allow an adult attendant, traveling with the person with a disability, to travel at no cost.
Reduced fares will be granted to the person with a permanent disability, unable to travel alone, (regardless of age) and accompanied by an adult attendant, if such person with a disability has received authorization from Easter Seals National Council or one of its designated affiliated members.
Only persons with a permanent disability who require a support person when travelling can apply for the card. The applicant must agree to follow the Terms and Conditions for use of the card.
* An attendant is an individual who accompanies a person with a permanent disability who cannot travel independently. An attendant will provide that person with required services that are not normally provided by a vehicle operator. These services include assisting the person with eating, administering medication and using the facilities in an on-board washroom or a washroom at a stop.
